Description: | Lead spindle whorl. The whorl is probably a miscast item. The whorl has a very distorted biconical shape to it, and is decorated on one side with a non-standard pattern of lines and pellets; visible are four radiating lines, then a space, then two lines, a pellet, and then four radiating lines. Around approximately 50% of the edge of the whorl there is casting waste, which usually gets trimmed off the surface. The central hole is a distorted oval and the other face of the whorl is completely undecorated and pitted.
